It won't be too long until we see in season pickups and cuts. College athletics is dead.

Do you realize people watching college sports (basketball & football) was way up this year?

College sports are NO LONGER an amateur sport, but it’s far from dead. It’s actually growing! (Doesn’t mean we have to like what it’s turned into.)

I don’t think he meant the popularity is dead but what it once was is dead.

People have been declaring college sports dead for 40 years. We get it, change makes you uncomfortable.

Read what you wrote. College sports. You know, school. College sports, at least the big two, are dead.

 

[BBNinSC]

It’s run by organizations that are incapable of envisioning any issues with the changes they make. There are no smart people in the NCAA.
Fortunately, college sports has been too big for them to ruin but I believe they are trying.

- They forfeit their scholly

- pay to go somewhere else.

- They get a job.

- grovel and beg their coach to come back.

- Say, "Portal? I was just kidding. I can't believe you took me seriously. What time is practice coach."

YES !! I think the recent surge, you see it everywhere, in the gaming industry has added to people watching sports.

I think for those of us that are not big professional sports followers, the amateur aspect was something we appreciated. I get that money drives everything now, there’s no mistaking that. But, if I wanted all the contract drama, holdouts, guys not honoring their word, I’d watch pro sports. But, I don’t care for any of that stuff. Not to mention the intangible stuff is going away as well.

Players bounce around now from team to team, there is no school loyalty anymore. Kids that would have stayed 4 years (like Travis Perry) and possibly become contributors later in their careers, not to mention fan favorites, won’t stay now. You can’t tell me mercenaries “get” the UL/UK rivalry. The hatred that goes along with that rivalry was born out of guys going to those schools and playing in that game every year, losing to them and having to hear about for another year. Cinderellas are a dying breed. That’s all gone now!

Just realize that there were a lot of great things about the way college hoops used to be too. Not everything has gotten better.

It's the equivalent of the player in the green room who goes undrafted and has to sit there while all the cameras zoom in on his face, waiting for him to cry. Shoulda stayed in school son!

I don’t know man. I feel like if we could’ve picked up another PG off waivers last season when injuries piled up ……

 

[noncomposmentis]

I have seen several D2 and D3 teams with former D1 players on the roster. It’s the ultimate game of musical chairs - a lot more bodies than seats.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

They stay in the portal dimension.

 

[NociHTTP]

They're left there, waiting for scraps, and a bucket lowered to them with lotion in it.

 

[kyboy1998]

I always assumed they were choke slammed straight to hell?

Fairly certain that NO green room invitee ever was undrafted.

 

[Supafuzz75]

I used to watch all kinds of college basketball.. Past 5-6 years the only time I watch it is if UK is playing.. And then I turned off or never watched a few when other guy was here..

They become salesman at their local auto dealership.

It’s like the thing in Logan’s Run only way worse.

I think the current status quo needs adjusting. But once video games started using college players names, it should've been obvious to everyone something would have to be done. So many layers of profit going to everyone but the athletes.

Have you been in a coma for the last 8/10 years ? Not like the farce of "student athlete" just started the last couple of years.

Our government would just tell them to learn to code when their job is gone.

 

[kornucopia]

We are hiring haha

That argument is tough to sell. Are the sports gamblers spending more time watching as more states legalize sports gambling? Sure. But are more people watching college football and college basketball? Doubt it.

 

[Fox2monk]

YES !! I think the recent surge, you see it everywhere, in the gaming industry has added to people watching sports.

Which is another reason they have to create a body to investigate refs in all sports. It’s too easy to fix games with them with no repercussions, they don’t even have to talk to the media. They should watch games, and look for suspect things. Do periodic audits of the financials to make sure they aren’t getting bribed the best they can at least, with gambling legal everywhere it will happen again and I’ve seen so many suspect things in our games alone I know we aren’t the only ones.

I agree with you. If you don't like these changes just wait until the get a players union and go on strike. It will happen.
